Today is measurement day!! This completely makes it seem like I am excited about “measurement day” which I wasn’t really. I was more curious. I was nervous. I was also proud. Proud that I had made it an entire month. No matter what the scale and tape measure showed, I had completed an entire month! Luckily I felt that way as I had no idea how important that…
Shoot. Let’s just start with a spoiler alert on my current weight loss journey. I was SO excited to be able to tell you guys this week that I had lost 5 pounds. Yes, even after my 4th of July “overnight weight gain” fiasco that shall never again be named. I had lost those extra two pounds by Tuesday and all week I was holding steady at 5…
Annnnnnddddd we’re back! It’s currently Day 14 of 60 in this new weight loss program I’m doing and I’ve just finished week 2 – with a holiday in there to boot! How Did Week 2 Go on my Weight Loss Journey? Not my best week honestly, as you’ll read below but I’m still feeling pretty motivated and I can see a difference when I look in the mirror.…
I’m currently on Day 7 of 60 in this new program I’m doing. Spoiler Alert – things are going pretty well so far! For more details, keep reading. What am I doing? I signed up for Beachbody’s Ultimate Portion Fix nutrition program. This is what’s known as their “container system” and it teaches you normal portion sizes for what you’re eating as well as balancing your macro-nutrients. With…
I’m onto a new goal. I’m not done with my financial journey by any means, but I’ve nearly paid off all my credit card debt (Only $5k left!!) and so my focus has gone to another big challenge. I want to lose weight – 30 pounds to be exact – and I want to keep it off. I have tried a million different times in nearly as many…
What is it about a new month and a new season that make you begin reflecting on a new you? I need a new start. I’ve done a piss poor job of updating this blog (sorry!) since I’ve started it and I had such high hopes for it – and for myself. But September first brings a new month, the start of the autumn season, and (hopefully) a…
Let me start by saying I am NOT a chef. I actually didn’t really like cooking. It took too much time mostly. At the time, I was working pretty long hours and so when I’d finish working at 8:30 or 9 pm, the last thing I wanted to do was spend an hour cooking. So I ate out. A LOT. And my waistline grew while my wallet shrunk…
I used to want to prove so badly that digital connection could be just as fulfilling as an in-person connection. Looking back, I think that was because, at that point in my life, my in-person friendships were changing. My friends were getting married, having kids, and didn’t quite have time for me anymore. I was not having kids nor getting married and as such, I didn’t always feel…
This season, I’m craving hygge. I know, I know. It’s a buzz word. But it doesn’t change the fact that I’m craving it. I’ve loved this type of lifestyle forever, I just didn’t know how to sum it up in one word until recently. But enjoying life’s simple pleasures with good food, good company, and good conversation is Heaven on earth for me. Throw in the idea of…
